It is not a six year old child's responsibility to preach the Gospel to anyone. Most of them are incapable of understanding it anyway (not all but most).

I have a God given responsibility to raise and educate my own children until the age that they are capable of standing on their own. The damage that can be and is done to the children in the government schools here is often devastating and I believe only an irresponsible Christian parent would send their child into one.

We educated all three of our children at home all of the way thru. The last one just finished high school this week. I can assure you that they all three had MANY more opportunities to live out their faith in front of the world over the years while homeschooling than they would have sitting in a classroom full of same-aged peers every day.

"Yes, keep your faith-sharing Christian children in little boxes of other faith-sharing Christian children. This way noone will ever hear the gospel message again, except by Joel Osteen or some other hack. I've never understood this stance. If it weren't for some christian kids in my school, I wouldn't have heard the name "Jesus", unless you count my angry step-father yelling it along with the name "Christ" when he was abusing me."

Yes-eight year olds make great missionaries.

I have a responsibility to God to raise my children in the nurture & admonition of the Lord. I'm not doing that if I send them into a Godless, humanistic warehouse for 8 to 10 hours a day for 12 years.

God detests sodomy. He called sodomites an abomination in the Old Testament and destroyed them. He even destroyed their dwellings so as to remove any remnant of them. He makes His opinion of them very clear in the New Testament. Paul uses the sin of sodomy as a plumb line for sinfulness in Romans 1. The destruction of Sodom and it's inhabitants is used as an example of God's wrath in the New Testament.

God created marriage. God considers sodomites an abomination so NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET.

If there are people amongst us who really are "homosexuals", doesn't calling them that by it's very nature imply that they were "born that way"? They are a class of people. They are (by definition) homosexuals by birth.

If that's the case, why would any preacher preach against them? Why should they be told that what they are doing is wrong? If they are, in fact, "homosexuals" they were, in fact, "born that way". They are what they are thru no fault of their own.

But NO. They commit sodomy. They are therefore SODOMITES (or perverts) BY CHOICE and up until the last few years everyone, even the state & local governments, understood that sodomy was a crime against nature and those who commit it ought to be shunned if not prosecuted.

Preachers everywhere ought to be preaching against the soul and nation-destroying sin of sodomy! Not arguing about whether or not it's acceptable to offend "homosexuals".

Of course, paying taxes is also our Christian duty. The Lord will provide enough to do both."

Amen!

All of the praying in the world isn't going to help a thing when it's coming from a stiffnecked nation and it's godless leaders who refuse to repent and continue to shake their fist in God's face at every opportunity.

Her husband's back isn't broken. I've seen him over and over on TV and he looks healthy to me. She needs to be at home and he ought to be ashamed of himself for sending her out to earn him a living. He looks like such a pathetic girly-man standing behind her with his unwed pregnant daughter while she embarrasses herself onstage.

Sarah Palin is a perfect example of what is wrong with so many American families, especially so many that claim the name of Christ. I see them all the time. She goes around spouting Scripture (while ignoring the parts that apply to her) and trying to sound pious and sanctimonious with her little churchy sweet platitudes and cliches while the rest of her family pays dearly for her rebellion and disobedience.

Susan: I believe most of these crazy ideas Comrade Obama plans on implementing will be shot down if they ever get to the courts (since they are unconstitutional).

"Evangelical Christianity has turned into a merchandising and fund-raising machine over the past decade or so, and individual Christians are seen as piggy banks to be exploited. If they're not being asked to bail out ministries in crisis mode which need immediate money to keep operating, they're being sold an endless parade of books, CDs, videos, trinkets, conferences, etc. All this is done with ever more sophisticated donor profiling and tracking software. When people realize they're worth nothing to these ministries other than the money they give, why would anyone be interested in that?"

Amen, Brother!

"Please do not be so quick to judge..."

Quick to judge???

That's not judging, that's pointing out the obvious. Hagee is a fat hog. Every time I see him on TV he looks like a walking time bomb. All of that blubber didn't magically jump up on him. He had to consume it and then engage in a great deal of slothfulness to keep it there.

I'm sorry he's sick and I hope he gets better but it's hardly 'judging' to point out that Hagee's heart problems are most likely a result of his own gluttony. He's a big, fat slob. The sky is blue, the moon is round, Hagee's fat. If he's smart he will learn to back away from the buffet table and get up off his ample posterior more often.

You would be hard pressed to find a church these days without some kind of silly 'drama team' that augments their 'worship team'.
